+Watching baseball. Not sure I even like baseball. I want to like baseball.

+Don Dellilo is making a rare public appearance at SUNY Albany this Friday. I have no idea why. It has something to do with showing an old movie and then he's going to talk about it and so is Russell Banks. I think I'm going to go.

+When I worked for Borders I had to sell Russell Banks books at a reading he did. I thought I had all his books on the table but forgot two. Russell Banks came up to the table and said "Hi...you're missing two of my books" and walked away.

+I have the deep desire to just sit and listen to music and have been doing a lot of that lately.

+I really love the quote that HTMLGIANT posted the other day by Salvador Dali: "I don't do drugs. I am drugs." Part of me doesn't want to admit liking that quote because it's Dali who gets a lot of shit and it's a drug related line. But there's something really strong and sad about that quote. I like it a lot.

+I want a pair of reading glasses.

+Eating more fruit lately.

+Made a post about how MFA programs were created by writers who didn't want to work shitty day jobs so they sold the idea that writing needed to be taught at colleges and then hired their friends and then deleted the post.

+Currently wearing plaid sweatpants, some kind of gray long sleeved shirt.

You deleted the MFA post? I never realize posts are deleted because they are stuck inside my Google Reader forever...
